Diamonds and rust

Mural made by Regg Salgado and Mariana Duarte Santos for MurArcos 2023. "As we researched themes for this first edition of MurArcos, many stories and memories were shared by the locals of the Valeta street. One of the most unusual ones (depicted in this mural), was the story of the women that met their husbands when they got home from work. Men in black suits rode home on horseback and the women, barefooted, would carry luggage on their heads all the way back from the bus station."

MurArcos is an Urban Art Festival in Arcos de Valdevez organised by Regg Salgado, Mariana Duarte Santos and Daniela Guerreiro.
